The Benji and Nick Show – Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror

In the next The Benji and Nick Show, the boys and Shelley have been watching Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror. Star Trek, which was first broadcast in 1966, follows the voyages of the starship USS Enterprise, a space exploration vessel built by the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd century, on a mission ‘to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before’.

Mirror, Mirror is the fourth episode of the second season of Star Trek. The episode involves a transporter malfunction that swaps Captain Kirk and his companions with evil counterparts from a parallel universe. In the ‘mirror universe’, the Enterprise is a ship of the Terran Empire, a conquering and murdering organization where officers are assassinated as punishment and as a means of others promotion.
